The recycling industry has been fighting materials theft for years. A growing number of reports of metal theft have brought the issue to the attention of politicians and lawmakers, and they have begun to take action. Unfortunately, this action is often taken without any real understanding of the issue, let alone the industry their laws and regulations affect most. The problem cannot be solved regionally. Increased demand for metals from countries abroad means the market doesn’t stop at our borders, and neither do the thieves who want to sell their material.

Rather than regulating recyclers, CARI believes materials theft should instead be fought through protection of material, cross-industry and cross-border cooperation, and proper punishment of criminals. Deterring theft should be the first priority of property owners and utility providers. Protecting property is far more cost effective than repairing damage or replacing stolen material. Securing material and installing video surveillance and alarm systems are obvious solutions, but marking material can also be a useful deterrent.

Police, property owners, and scrap dealers must also have an easy means of communicating theft reports and suspicious material to one another. Several years ago CARI established an industry-based bulletin alert system to fight metal theft. With the assistance and support of ISRI, this system eventually evolved into the website www.ScrapTheftAlert.com. The site covers Canada and the U.S. and encourages cooperation between recyclers and law enforcement officers in tracking stolen material. Like thieves, the alerts posted on this site cross regions, thereby increasing the possibility of recovering material and identifying thieves.

For International Women's Day and beyond, let's all fully .
Equity isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have.
A focus on gender equity needs to be part of every society's DNA.
And it's critical to understand the difference between equity and equality.
The IWD 2023 campaign theme aims to get the world talking about Why equal opportunities aren't enough. People start from different places, so true inclusion and belonging require equitable action.

We asked board members, "Why is CARI important for the industry?" This is what Mario Venditti had to say:

"CARI is essential for the industry because we are Canadian. It represents who we are and the challenges we face. Information exchange is imperative. It is POWER. I proudly serve as a board member with this great group of individuals, and I challenge all in our industry to get involved! Not only to recognize those in the past that helped guide us to this point but also to set an example for future generations!"

We asked board members, "Why is CARI important for the industry?" This is what Tim Belmore had to say:

"I remember my first CARI Consumers' Night like it was yesterday. I met many new people and continue to meet new people I still work with and talk to daily.
CARI is not only essential to the recycling industry but is a vital part for Canadian recyclers to connect with one another and stay informed about what's happening in the recycling world.
Since my first time attending a CARI event, I've never missed one and don't plan on it. CARI has helped me grow my connections in the metal recycling industry and helped me learn along the way.
I'm honoured and proud to be sitting on the board of directors as your treasurer."
